Mr, Joha Stouffer, living about mile from

and on November lith of that year put into it
forty.eight very small German carp; The
pond is divided into three parts and every

sorts his fish. Into one pond are put the
small ones, into another the medium sized,
and into the third the large ones On Thurs
day of last week he drained the ponds for the
annual asserting, and the stock had increased
from forty eight to probably lo,ooo, the
largest ones weighing about two and a-half
ponnds. Ne. Stouffer pays considerable atten,
ton to the propagation Of fish and is gratified
at his success. He can hages fry at will, and
the fish more than pay for the trouble. When
he desires some for his table, he catches 0
sufficient number of the larger ones and puts
them in pool of clear water at the spring,
and allows them to stay few days to get rid
of the muddy taste they have when eaten
direct from the pond.

Local Politics.


GReported for the Democratic Advocated
There has been but little stir in the politi
cal field this week, though the candidates are
still on their rounds looking up voters.
Mr.. Jos. Brooks, Republican candidate for
States Attorney, has been assured by the
other Republican members of the bar that
they will not be in his way, and his nomina-
ton by the party is pretty well assured.
Mr.. P. A. Gorsgch, independent candidate
for Sheriff, does not think the Republicans
will nominate ticket this fall, and thinks he
will be able to make the Democratic nominee
hustle around pretty lively.
The Republicans have not called their
county central committee together yet, to
name dates for primaries and convention, and
there seems to be dead calm just now in
the party. What tbs leaders are meditating
will soon be made known, for If they onter
the field this fall with ticket arrangements
will have to be made shortly. There is o
wide difference of opinion among prominent
Republicans as to the ACCESSIBILITY of nomina-
ting. Some are strongly opposed to it, and
others contend that vigorous campaign ought
to be made.
On the Democratic side, too, there is a calm
this week. Arrangements are being made for
contests in several districts, but not much real
work will be done until week after next.
Very many friends of Hon. Chas. B. Roberts
would like to have him consent to a nomina-
ton for State Senator, and the matter has
been talked of for month past Should he
do so, a unanimous nomination would be
rendered hin, and an effort would ha made
to send strong delegation to the House and
thus make Carrol's influence strongly felt in
the Legislature and state. Should affairs
take this turn the candidacy of u number of
gentlemen would be affected, and the proba-
bility is that some would retire from the field
and there would be general disposition all
around to cease district contests and all work
togsther to SECURE the nomination of the
strongest ticket ever put forward in uarrnll.
The disposition would be to seek out well
qualified men, to command respect and votes,
and not look for nominees alone among pres
emit aspirants The party's good alone will
be sought, regardless of personal ambitions.

WHY SHOULD 1T BE

BOOTS, = SHOES, = HATS,
TRUNKS and VALISES ?

Because mark my goods in plain figures
that speak more eloquently than words.
Price tags which have tongue. You need
no salesman to interpret for you. Your eyes
do it all. Here are the Shoes and Hats.
Here are the prices on each. One price as
plain as black can be on white. We ask you
again why shouldn't this be the best place to
buy? We get the goods in such lots that the
manufacturer every time gives me his bottom
best prices. No dealer anywhere can get the
goods on better terms than |. This is why no
other store can do better by you in fine Shoes
and Hats. It's with the things of little cost
that most dealers bait you. They can afford
to make loss on a small sale if they catch
you in that way for big one. There is no
bait but honest value when you see plain
price tag on every thing. Ours is the largest
stock by long odds in the town.
Boots, Shoes, Slippers, Hats, Trunks,
Valises and Umbrellas to suit
Everybody.
